What I Learned Today: Admitted
10/30/2006
So this weekend I had approximately three servings of Indian food. And today, I seem to be expunging the odor of..what is that curry? Like when you eat too much garlic or vodka and you can feel it coming out of your pores.
This is where I admit that while using public transportation in certain cities I noticed a certain aroma. Often attributed to persons of a certain ethnic origin and their lack of bathing and the fact that these persons may have been over dressed for the weather (puffy jackets in May).
This is where I admit that I often wore a scarf that smelled like my perfume du jour to protect my olfactory senses from being assaulted.
This is where I admit that I have had co-workers that were taken aside and quietly told about certain American customs and the need for regular bathing.
So, now that I’ve just stated all that stuff, here’s the thing, when you eat curry based food more than once a week you are going to smell like curry no matter the number of showers you take. I know this because I’ve already showered once today and the smell emanating from my body is making me nauseous.
